b. Lubricating hinges
To avoid wear of hinging parts or friction zones, apply lubricant regularly.
Pay special attention to the following areas:
• Tilting point of the protection plate at the back of the spiker.
• Hinge of the handle for the clutch.
Follow this procedure:
• First spray the friction zones with cleaner. Allow it to sit for a while. ELIET recommends NOVA
-
TIO KLEENSPRAY-S.
• Wipe away old lubricant with a cloth or paper tissue.
• Once the friction zones are clean, new lubricant can be applied to the
contact areas. We recommend NOVATIO PTFE OIL or SUNOCO MULTIPURPOSE LR - EP2. All
lubricants indicated are available from your ELIET dealer.
11.4.2 Belt tension adjustment
Caution:
When adjusting the belt tension the engine must be turned off and the plug
disconnected at all times.
Gloves are mandatory whenever contact with the spikes could occur.
• Remove the four Allen screws (M4) from the protective belt
cover.
• Remove the crosshead screw from the switch for the axle drive.
Then remove the switch of the protective cover.
• Loosen the cover carefully, be careful with the switch mecha
-
nism.
• Press the two free belt parts towards each other. If, when squeezed together in relaxed condi
-
tion, the distance between them is considerably less than 1 centimetre, the belt tension will be
insufficient in tightened condition. The tension will have to be adjusted.
